I was just wondering... D'you guys not think Mayweather is being considerably over-hyped? I mean he's not yet ACTUALLY proved his greatness in the ring.
For example - In my opinion, the last time he fought someone of World class (back in 2002') many thought he lost.
Since then he's fought Victoriano Sosa, Phillip N'dou, DeMarcus Corley, Henry Bruseles, and Arturo Gatti. - None of these guys are what I would consider proper World class fighters.
Sosa - won quite a few rounds against Mayweather and did give him trouble.
N'dou - Better known as Phillip "the pudding" N'dou, IS NOT the same Lovemore Ndou that gave Mitchell/Witter/Cotto problems. Phillip N'dou is crap compared to Lovemore Ndou.
Corley - Has been called Demarcus "slop slop" Corley in the past, and he took Mayweather the distance and shook him up doing it.
Bruseles - Famous for being a Cotto sparring partner, I'd never heard of him before and don't think I'll hear of him again.
Gatti - Gatti's been a good fighter to watch over the years and been in some real wars... But with all due respect, He's not exactly a talented fighter. When he did step up in class 5yrs ago he got his arse handed to him by De La Hoya... He's had the crap kicked out of him by Ward three times since then, he's lost a load of fights, he looks a mess, was it really any suprise to any of you that Mayweather was able to run rings around him?
I've seen threads on this forum saying, "Ohh, how is anyone ever going to beat Mayweather???"... "No one all the way up to 175lbs can touch Mayweather!"
But let's be serious for a second... A lot of this is based on hype and what people think WOULD happen if Mayweather fought this or that person.
I'm just thinking maybe Mayweather's getting set up for a big fall?
